The relatives of his first wife shocked him when they went to the mortuary to claim the body of his first wife and prepared her for a befitting burial.

Just like we see in typical Nollywood movie, Who Know Man suddenly interrupted the lying in state and pushed his first wife’s coffin on the ground, the coffin broke and as the body of the deceased hit the ground, guests scampered for safety as it is seen as a taboo.
